Famous quotes containing the words sponge and/or fishermen:
“He who has been impoverished for a long time ... who has long stood before the door of the mighty in darkness and begged for alms, has filled his heart with bitterness so that it resembles a sponge full of gall; he knows about the injustice and folly of all human action and sometimes his lips tremble with rage and a stifled scream.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“The fishermen say that the “thundering of the pond” scares the fishes and prevents their biting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
